PLWA Operations Group Workshop - Tackling barriers and disadvantage - 11 April 2019

Below are the notes and handouts from the guest speakers at the workshop.

The two Innovation Canvases are from the second half of the workshop where we looked at the barriers those with a disadvantage face, as well as the bureaucracy that we and our customer at times face. Those attending came up with the barriers, which we grouped, and listed on the first page of the canvas (along with lots suggested links to further info in the Disadvantaged canvas) then came up with ideas to overcome the barriers. Interestingly they both had a lot of similarities.

Many thanks to all who participated via email and on the day.
